Berlin Marathon Nails

I was supposed to be on holiday this week, so didn't think that I would get to create any Berlin marathon nails for Charlie, which has become a bit of a tradition. The silver lining of a last minute holiday change meant I got to design some German themed nails to spur Charlie on in the race today!

Unsurprisingly we went for a black, red and yellow colour scheme, based on the German flag. As usual we included the flag of the hosting country, the marathon distance (26.2 miles!!) and Charlie chose to add a mustache and beer mug.

As you can tell we used a number of polishes including Barry M - Espresso*, Gold Foil and White, O.P.I - Red My Fortune Cookie*, Maybelline - Electric Yellow, Models Own - Gold Finger. We also used Barry M nail art pens in black and white.

I love the colour scheme for this mani, it's great fun and perfect for A/W. Definitely one I'll be trying again, but perhaps without the marathon theme next time!
